Ahh glad to hear that. Thank beanaseireann

EggysMom · 05/01/2020 11:22

The ironing board. That's the only one that sticks in my mind as (a) not outed as a troll and (b) not resolved.

DilysMoon · 05/01/2020 11:39

The one from a few years ago where OP had queried a £500? annual payment for each house in her new road. People had been paying it for years but after some digging it wasn't clear where the money was going or if it was legit. Checked on that for ages but I don't think there was ever an update.

Natsel84 · 05/01/2020 12:18

What's the ironing board thread about ?

HeronLanyon · 05/01/2020 12:53

Ironing board had gone missing. Nowhere in flat (think it was a flat). Hadn’t been out out in shared space. Had been no break in. No one had keys for good reason. Think no landlord with keys. Went on for some time as to where it could be. Mysterious.

Crunchymum · 05/01/2020 13:19

People do know that many of these threads turned out to be trolls right? Confused

theoriginalmadambee · 05/01/2020 14:27

@branster
The summer clothes on a plane moved to the 'dark mn' section. Don't know if she is still there.

Angelf1sh · 05/01/2020 14:58

3 for me and all are pure nosiness on my part because if they’re not trolls then they’re people’s lives:

A) French Martini Bastard (pretty sure that one was a troll, it jumped the shark with the positive pregnancy test and I stopped reading at that point. Actually I’d like a bonus update on the thread where half of MN did not believe “jumped the shark” was a phrase).

B) one by i think something like syc4moretrees. Her husband was in a car accident a couple of weeks before she was due to give birth and while he was unconscious she saw some messages from a gamer woman he’d been sleeping with. the threads went on For a year or so and she’d got to the point where she was finally ready to decide whether to file for divorce and then stopped posting. I assumed that meant she decided to take him back but she’d done really well by herself for a year and it seemed odd to go back to him.

C) can’t remember the poster but it was 4 or 5 years ago. There’s just got back from a week in Spain when DH said he was leaving her. She didn’t think there was an ow but of course there was and she turned up about a month later. There were several threads over 2 years or so that spanned the divorce, buying a new home etc. Then I lost track of it all. The DH had started to lose contact with the kids the last I read.

ArranUpsideDown · 05/01/2020 15:08

Coatsprotectionleague-she was preparing to kick her husband out by prepping for the future, buying lots of things and storing them in a unit in readiness.

I think about coats and I hope it's worked out well for her and the children.

ArranUpsideDown · 05/01/2020 15:23

Is the coats story people mention part of coatsprotectionleague because her threads are still there?

I thought the one about the neighbours knocking through the wall into the garden thread was no longer updated because it ended up in court (and the Daily Mail).

ohfourfoxache · 05/01/2020 15:40

There were some threads by a poster called kitty4paws (later catfourfeet). Her dh had sudden onset (severe) memory problems, and her toxic bitch of a sister (who had somebody sort of allied healthcare experience) essentially cut op and their 4 kids out of his life. It was gruelling just to read; she went through absolute hell Sad

Babynamechange is another who I think of; she’s was desperately trying to keep her ds away from her physically and sexually abusive ex (he was sexually abusing ds but “the system” kept ensuring access) Sad

DownWhichOfLate · 05/01/2020 15:50

I’d also like to know how @MrsKoala is getting on. (Someone unthread mentioned her).

bluestripedtop · 05/01/2020 16:07

FV45. Abusive marriage and planning to end it.

beanaseireann · 05/01/2020 16:08

Crunchymum
Which ones ?

katzenellenbogen · 05/01/2020 16:28

The "coat" thread is an entirely different scenario to the posts by coatsprotectionleague.

Mummyoflittledragon · 05/01/2020 17:10

I’d like an update on a thread from a few years ago, where the ops dcs didn’t want to go to their dads but were forced. It was court ordered and the oldest was a girl mid teens and a younger boy - 11ish. He showed no interest in the children, was abusive to his ex wife and had taken her to court just to hurt her. I just remember there was no bin in the house and he piled the rubbish in the middle of the kitchen. The way he treated them was horrendous.

Branster · 05/01/2020 17:11

Thank you madambee I did find it at the time but the updates stopped and the thread is long gone by now.

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 05/01/2020 17:33

Not an update as such but I often think of a poster called Cupoftea who had a little girl called Beatrice who sadly died.

Loveablers · 05/01/2020 17:50

Ah yes OpheliaRose that’s the one. I couldn’t think of the name, can’t believe it’s been 5 years!

I really don’t think that was a troll. The threads are still there. A lot of people became very invested, I hope she (and the twins) are okay nowadays

MintyMabel · 05/01/2020 18:01

The vast majority of these were troll threads. I’m afraid posts like this one show why trolls keep on trolling, in it for the attention.

Chuffit · 05/01/2020 18:13

I remember one from a few years ago, where the woman was married with I think 2 children and her husband was foreign, from the middle east somewhere if memory serves.
She had posted about how controlling he was in every way and each time she threatened to leave, or tried to leave, he wouldn't let her take the kids.
I think he was going to take the kids to the middle east to visit his family and she was terrified that he would come home without them.
I can't remember anything else about it, but I've wondered if he did take them and if so, did he return with them, but more importantly, did she manage to get away with the kids? I hope so.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 05/01/2020 18:16

The woman who had i think 3 kids with her ex husband who left her for another woman. OW couldnt have kids and sort of latched onto the children, one who was a young baby and was trying to alienate the OP. I think the OW posted a picture tagging it as "Mummy time" with the youngest.

The OP whose Dp was having atleast an emotional affair with their child's music teacher. Op was in denial.

Poster called wavesandsmiles who was having a baby with her prostitute using DH. Last i heard she had a baby boy called Caspian. She was a lovely lady and I hope she found happiness.

Chelsea26 · 05/01/2020 18:35

The oops I shagged my neighbour one! There was an update saying they were talking after but I’d like to know what’s happening now.

MulticolourMophead · 05/01/2020 18:40

The very religious woman in the US, who’s husband used to “correct” ie spank her using Christian domestic discipline. All of the threads got pulled as she couldn’t cope with the number of people telling her she needed to end her marriage. She posted a few threads over the course of maybe 6 months. Perhaps in 2018.

I think they were UK based, but there is a US connection. The DH has a son from his first marriage, early to mid teens, I think. I think I recall that the DH came home one day to find his DS being sexually attacked, maybe even raped, by the person left as a “baby sitter”. The DH being a wazzock threw the attacker out but proceeded to treat his DS as if he were the one at fault; he doesn’t involve police or attempt to help his DS come to terms with being attacked. When his DS goes to the US to visit family (maybe his mum’s family) he refused to come home (not surprised). The US family refused to send the boy home. OP had posted the thread apparently to ask advice on how to deal with the DS going off the rails. No shit he was, clearly acting out after the attack from the descriptions, and with OP and her DH being too emotionally stunted to realise this and provide help.

That's assuming these weren't troll threads.

A few years ago there was a thread where the OP was getting married and her nephew (I think) had just dyed his hair green although he was due to be a page boy. She was worried about the pictures. Always wonder what happened there

I recall asking about this on a previous “what happened” thread, but no answer so far as I could see. I’m not sure if he’d actually dyed his hair, or if it was a threat.

I think the softzilla isse had reached the point of police involvment, as had the saga of the neighbours window being removed for a patio door.

I have a very good memory for something I've read, but a crap memory for things I'm told/have heard.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 05/01/2020 19:03

Literally a couple of hours ago, something reminded me of a lady who lived in San Francisco (?), and was selling her house in the hills.

She'd been there yonks and was set to make a massive profit. She shared a link to her house listing.

I came in halfway through the saga but it was going on for ages.
